A year from diagnosis

Today is one year since I was diagnosed with bresst cancer. I use this date because it's the date on the pathology report from my biospy. The time went by really quickly, although I counted down each chemo session, looking forward to the last one.

The 4th of July was good...we grilled. That night the local fireworks were pretty annoying...especially for my "kids." And by local I mean the dozens of people in my subdivision who set off their own in their backyard. I was glad that the next morning I didn't come across used bottle rockets, sparklers, etc. Last night was the first quiet night and I really appreciated it!

My job hunt is continuing. The downside of searching and applying online is that because your resume is posted, you receive a lot of unsolicited "opportunities" disguised as something interesting. I've received requests for dubious sales positions, but nothing from the jobs for which I actually applied.

I've started painting again. I really want to get the rest of the house done. I just need to pace myself and not overdo it with my arm.

I'm looking forward to my trip to Pennsylvania at the end of the month. My trip just happens to coincide with Steelers training camp. What a coincidence!
